About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Everyman's House in Westnedge Hill

Located in Westnedge Hill right on the edge of downtown. Just 1.5 miles to the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. It's a 1926 Colonial with a rich history. Well taken care of and very loved. 2 bedrooms up stairs and a 3rd on the main floor. 1.5 baths. Wood floors throughout. Has a semi private deck off the back for relaxing with a small fenced in back yard under a canopy of trees.


Everyman's house has been declared a Historic Home in Kalamazoo. The words "Everyman's House Kalamazoo MI" can be searched for more information on the history of my wonderful house. Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Public Library have websites dedicated to Everyman's House.



1,100 sq. ft.


We do allow pets with a $50 per pet fee which must be collected separately after you make your reservation. Please include the breed and size of your pet when making your reservation. You will also be required to agree to our pet policy.


Full access, the entire place is yours!

Large Roku TV with a Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ subscriptions along with Philo which provides basic cable channels.
Location:


Located about 2 miles from Western Michigan University, Waldo Stadium and Kalamazoo College in the Westnedge Hill neighborhood and across from Crane Park. Crane Park has tennis courts, badminton court and a beautiful flower garden in the summer. Very nice for relaxing or letting your dog run around. Also a good spot for sunsets as you can see over the northwest side of Kalamazoo. The neighborhood to the south (up the hill) and behind are both very nice with some very nice homes located behind me on Glenwood Dr. and around the park. There is a nice apartment community located next to the house on the north side called Westnedge Hill Apartments. 



Milham Park Golf Club and Gull Meadow Farms are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Kalamazoo Nature Center, The AirZoo or Airway Lanes for go karts and bowling. Binder Park zoo is just about a 30 minute drive also. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at Waldo Stadium or Wings Event Center.


It is located on the city's bus line with stops just up and down the street. Uber and Lyft are great options for getting around with only around a $6 fare to downtown. It is a 11 minute drive to Kalamazoo Municipal Airport and 50 minutes south of Grand Rapids' Airport.



Other things to note:



***Located on a busy street***


Location: Everyman's House is located on a hill on a one-way main road (Westnedge Ave.). It was built back when Westnedge was not as busy. Please be aware that traffic noise can be heard inside of house. Also it can be busy depending on the time of day and some people find it difficult to back out of the drive way. However, because of the traffic light located down the road there is always a break in the traffic to back out. Please be aware of this LOCATION issue before booking!


There are four total parking spaces with two being inside of the garage and two spaces in the driveway. Do not block driveway.


The stairs are steep and may be difficult for elderly guests but there is a bedroom located on the main floor.


Please be aware that although pets do not live on the premises I do allow them so it is a possibility that some hair/dander be found which I understand can be an issue for some guests with a severe animal allergy.



We do allow pets with a $50 per pet fee. You will also be required to agree to our pet policy. Please be sure to include that you will be bringing pets before you arrive.

$350 security deposit required. Original payment method used will be pre-authorized on day of arrival and will be automatically refunded 5 days after arrival.

If you would like early check in or late check out I will do my best to accommodate. There is a fee of $20 per hour. Please be aware that it takes up to 3 hours to clean and do laundry in between guests so availability is subject to prior/future guests requests.

I would love to give you a tour of the home and provide more info about the history of the house and information about Kalamazoo if desired but you are also welcome to just use self check-in. I am usually available but if I happen to be out of town I will have a co-host to help with any issues with the home.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Western Michigan University. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 2 bathrooms
  • On-site recreation includes tennis courts
  • Just a 4-minute drive from Western Michigan University and a few minutes from Kalamazoo Institute of Arts
Everyman's House in Westnedge Hill offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This was perfect for our stay during WMU graduation weekend. Very cute quaint old house. Loved the pictures and history. There is major construction on the road but it was not really an issue since we were there on the weekend. The fenced yard was great since we brought our dog.

We were trades people at the Kalamazoo living history Trade Show and staying at the house was also like living in a little bit of history. We enjoy the uniqueness of the house and this being the second time we enjoyed the experience of staying there it didn't fail to enhance our weekend in Kalamazoo. Thank you Jenny for helping to make our weekend comfortable and fun.

Cozy place that worked out great for our early family Christmas. Traffic was noisy so bring ear plugs and you'll have no issues. Host was great, easy check in and out and close to lots of shops/restaurants in Kzoo. Nice fenced in yard for our dog to run around too.

Tried to charge bogus fees, no check out info, payment issues, non responsive. False claims, condesc
Had problems with second payment going through. Tried to contact owner and was giving a payment source that doesn’t exist. Contacted VRBO and they couldn’t help because the owner uses their own charging system which I was not comfortable with. I ended up paying it anyhow. I had to bequest check in instructions as they were not sent. I paid for early check in and was not refunded even though we did not arrive early. The home is located on a very busy street but that was explained. The home is drafty and the road noise is loud but I was prepared for that from reading previous reviews. We could not locate the thermostat so we bundled up. We received the pet document that states pets are not allowed in furniture, beds etc and that you must bring your own blanket for them. We did so as well as brought the dog bed. Although the property states pet friendly, they most definitely are not nor is the stairs and flooring conducive for pets. There were no check out instructions provided. Despite this, we left the home in immaculate condition as we travel frequently and applied instructions from other homes here. Today I received a $350 attempt on my card and a $95 attempt from “Sand Lake Cottages” I did not identify this and thankfully I have good protection on my credit card, otherwise these would have gone through. I googled the company and turns out it was this property trying to charge me with claims that the home was left in one of the worst conditions?! Beyond untrue! Beware!

Everything you need.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Everyman's House. This was one of the best stocked rentals that we've ever seen. Everything that you could possibly require for day-to-day living is there. The home is centrally located, and Jenny was quick to respond and very accommodating. There is some traffic noise, but it was not too bad, and we had no trouble getting out of the driveway. The park across the street is awesome and has tennis and pickleball courts (We were thrilled to find a pickleball set in the coat closet)! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This house was exactly as described. It was well supplied with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The porch and yard make it very comfortable for children and dogs. There is a great little book store within walking distance. And plenty of restaurants close by. We didn’t have time to enjoy the tennis courts but the flowers in the park made for a beautiful walk.

The house was well appointed, quaint, clean with good linens, well maintained. The back yard was fenced, although the gate on one side leading to the front required tieing with rope because the latch didn't close it securely and we had a dog. The street was extremely busy, and the location required that we back out onto the street in order to leave the property. I believe that the price of the rental reflected that one problem, so our experience, overall, was good. I would rent that property again.

Delightful home in kalamazoo
Clean and cozy this house takes you back to simpler times and craftsman design. Because of a mistake I made in booking dates, we only had one night here, which was a shame because we really enjoyed the atmosphere and comfortable feel here. Our host Jenny, was very gracious when we discovered my error in booking and we will book here again when visiting family in Kalamazoo!
